Highlighter Makeup FAQs

How do I apply liquid highlighter so it doesn't move my foundation?

To avoid lifting your base makeup, we recommend tapping and never dragging the product onto the skin. Dispense 1-2 drops of liquid illuminator onto the back of your hand. Warm it with your ring finger or a damp blending sponge, then gently tap it onto the high points of your face (cheekbones, brow bone, bridge of the nose) on top of set foundation. For the most seamless, skin-like finish, apply it before any setting powder.
Can you mix liquid highlighter with skincare or moisturiser?

Absolutely. For a quick, "no-makeup" glowing look, mix 1 drop of your favourite shade with your daily moisturiser or SPF. This hydrates your skin while correcting dullness and evening out the look of your skin tone without the need for full-coverage products. It is the ultimate MUA trick for an effortless, fresh-faced glow on active days.
Is liquid illuminator suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes, a common myth is that liquid highlighters clog pores or make oily skin look greasy. Iconic LONDON illuminators are formulated with oil-free, lightweight light-reflecting pigments that sit on the surface of the skin without heavy oils. If you have oily skin, apply the product sparingly only to the high points of the face (cheekbones and temples) and avoid the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) where natural oils accumulate.
Liquid illuminator vs. powder highlighters - when should I use each?

Liquid illuminators are perfect for achieving a lit-from-within, dewy finish, as they blend seamlessly into liquid foundations for a radiant, skin-like glow - making them ideal for dry skin or no-makeup looks. Powder highlighters, on the other hand, provide a more intense, metallic shimmer that sits beautifully on top of set makeup, making them a fantastic choice for long-wear events or when you prefer a more sculpted, high-impact finish. For the ultimate MUA-approved glass skin look, layer a light dusting of powder highlighter over your liquid illuminator to lock in the glow.
